Leadership Style
What is the objective of leadership as it applies to follower motivation? Motivation represents the forces acting on or within a person that cause the person to behave in a specific, goal-directed manner (Hellriegel & Slocum, 2011). Goals are future outcomes (results) that individuals and groups desire and strive to achieve (Hellriegel & Slocum, 2011). Authentic leaders influence followers attitude and behaviors, which, in turn, positively affects their self-esteem, stimulates follower identification, creates hope, reflects trust, shows positive emotions, and raises optimism (Hellriegel & Slocum, 2011). Their Leadership Style is to get the most out of your employees in reference to accomplishing individual and organizational goals
